He claimed I was an impostor.

His lawyers presented documents showing that Amara Vale had died twenty years ago.

The courtroom erupted.

I sat beside Dante.

For the first time, I wasn't afraid.

Because I knew the truth.

My lawyer presented the DNA evidence.

Then the photograph.

Then the ledger.

Then the original letters from my mother.

Finally...

the pendant.

The judge examined everything.

Victor's lawyer objected.

But then Vanessa walked into the courtroom.

She testified against Victor.

She admitted everything.

The money.

The shell companies.

The threats.

The kidnapping.

The lies.

Victor's empire collapsed in minutes.

But before the judge could rule, Victor escaped.

He had planned for this.

He fled through an underground tunnel.

Dante's men pursued him.

I stayed behind.

The judge officially recognized me as Amara Vale.

Twenty years after I had disappeared...

I was finally legally home.

Dante hugged me outside the courthouse.

"I'm sorry it took so long."

I smiled through tears.

"I'm here now."

But then my phone rang.

Victor.

His voice was calm.

"You won the courtroom."

I froze.

"But you haven't won Bellmont."

Then I heard a familiar voice crying in the background.
